Interesting Fact.

29 Replies

Now there's a fascinating fact for you.

Concerning the shape of wombat poo.

In marsupials it is quite rare,

Because in fact it comes out square.

Why is this I hear you say?

Because it must not roll away.

It's used, you see, to mark a spot.

The wombats special parking lot.

It's just as well we can't do square.

To just stop others parking there.

Really? There was an article? I had no idea about wombats 'stools' This rivals the facts about sloths and their toilet habits. Again I've learned something new today 😎

The article was on the BBC news app which is easy to obtain .It must be easy for me to be able to do it 😊

Dear Don.

Just imagine the consequences if we all 'pooed' square

We would fill up all the beds in intensive care

And as for Wally wombat with his fancy turd

The mere thought of it is really quite absurd.

Keep em coming Master Po.............Ski's and Scruff's x

Very good Grasshopper the best I've heard.

But I'd never use a word like turd! 😮

It’s really is quite heart stopping

To think how many words describe a dropping

Big or small and cubed ones too

So many ways to describe our poo

Maybe lots or sometimes fewer

And some that are spread as manure

Whether you sit or simply stoop

Or use a toilet when you poop

Like Don i avoid the rudest words

When talking about the wombat turds.

Why am I not getting some posts ? just read yours Don after going through them all from 6 am this Morning. I wonder if the Teams on " I'm a celeb, get me out" have experienced this yet ? It seems they are having Poo problems, and eating kangaroo, so Cruel. Arrr, That could be the problem , maybe change their Diet to Wombat's. Great Poem Don. Ha Ha Ha . xxxxx

We have a loo that is square

My BB took one look and said “I’m not doing owt in there.

I cannot do

The Wombat poo.”

And crept off down the stair.

(He really didn’t like our brand new loo)

Heyho

Needs more practice

Love Kate xxx

Recently I stayed somewhere with a square toilet and I have to say it was weird. I guess in the fullness of time I’d have become more used to it but it was just odd. To put it mildly. I hope your BB gets to like it. I was going to ask if you like it but that’s maybe too personal a question 😊 It’s perfect for square poop though. Had I known about square poop at the time, I might have been more appreciative of the square toilet. ⬛️◼️◾️▪️

There’s a restaurant near me that advertises square meals, if that’s any help. 😀
